Video clip taken in colony 3 (Wagejot) on June 9, 2022 (5 days after the first dead birds were seen in the colony), the Netherlands. Many dead chicks littered the colony, 1 in the shelter of the wing of a dead adult Sandwich tern (presumably 1 of its parents). That day, hundreds of dead chicks were reported (Appendix 1 Table 1).
